My work is an enquiry into how viewers can re-evaluate their expectations and beliefs through the quiet tensions that shape perception. In my work, I regularly use reduction as an act of precision, distilling each painting to line, colour, and spatial rhythm so that silence and space speak first. For this, I create surfaces that appear calm yet unsettled, shifting subtly as the viewer’s gaze lingers. The longer it lingers, the more it stirs a provocative thought, prompting a subjective investigation. I then guide the viewer to a meticulously placed small imperfection within the order, or at times to an absolute incompletion, each designed to catch the eye and trigger a quiet but persistent disruption in the mind. It compels the viewer to question, to search for its source, forging a deliberate bridge between the act of seeing and the deeper act of perceiving. For me, perfection is most compelling when it reveals its fracture - a reminder that order is fragile and harmony can contain dissonance. Ultimately, my work resists a single reading, encouraging a slower perception that uncovers the interplay of presence and absence, structure and disruption, much like the complexities of lived experiences, expectations and belief system.
